This is about rock piles and stone mound sites in New England. A balance is needed between keeping them secret and making them public. Also arrowheads, stone tools and other surface archaeology.

Eastern States Rock Art Conference

(Thanks for Norman Muller for this information)

In the Summer 2008 ESRARA Newsletter, there is a notice on page 16 of upcoming conferences, one of which is the Eastern States Rock Art Conference (ESRAC) March 27-29, 2009. Tommy Hudson, the organizer of the conference writes: "There is also a call for papers. Rock art, stone piles and constructions, geoglyphs, iconography, and all subjects related are welcome. As an example, I will give a presentation on serpentine stone walls in North Georgia and their relationship to the tri-level cosmos." Hudson can be reached at myrockart@yahoo.com or by phone at 678-983-5333.

Update:The conference will be held at Red Top Mountain State Park (www.redtopmountain.com) about thirty miles north of Atlanta. A block of twenty rooms has been set aside at the park. Deadline for reserving the rooms will be January 27, 2009.
